Voluntary Contributions Parents are reminded that the ‘early
bird’ discount, (eligible for invoices paid in full), expires on Wednesday, February
29th. Contrary to a recent report “Public system raises the bar on private
contributions” (SMH, Feb 4), High does not have subject fees. Your global contribution
includes: elective subject delivery costs, school planners, textbooks, competition entry fees,
entry to school Values Education and other performances, a copy of The Record, capitation fees to
AAGPS and CHS, student award scheme awards, 24/7 student insurance and the salaries of the
equivalent of two full time teachers to assist with the delivery of school programs. The sports
levy pays for MICs, lead coaches and sports administration, the technology levy for the two full
time ICT managers. In order for the school to meet its obligations to its employees for
non-teaching duties (>$90k per month), it relies heavily on its parents. High is fortunate
that 94% of parents see the value in High’s services and make the contribution willingly.

Qualifying standards Year 10 students and their families need to be aware of a
changed policy for entry into Mathematics Extension in 2013. Only the top 164 boys (ranked on
their Yearly Year 10 mathematics mark) will be eligible to commence the Mathematics Extension
course in Year 11. There will be two 2-unit classes. The policy of having the strongest 80 or so
Year 11 Mathematics students sit for the HSC in 2-unit remains unchanged. Extension 2 Mathematics
is limited to 120 places. In English Extension after Preliminary, only 72 places are offered for
the Year 12 course. In Physics and Chemistry, boys who fail to reach band 4 standard (70 on their
Preliminary report mark) will be asked to move to the Senior Science course for Year 12 or to
withdraw from the science course that they are weak in.

Homophobic Harassment Students and their parents should be aware that the school has
a ‘zero tolerance’ policy on homophobic harassment, bullying or teasing. At
High we are proudly anti-discriminatory. No individual should be discriminated against by virtue
of his sexual identity, race, religion or cultural custom. We promote ourselves as a band of
academic brothers and must put our actions where our words are. Students who discriminate against
others, verbally, physically, in writing or online, can expect strong negative consequences. Any
defence based on the idea that teenage discourse customarily encompasses the use of homophobic
language to the extent that it has lost its original meaning, will be disregarded. The essence of
the problem is in repetition of discriminatory words or phrases and multiple perpetrators
repeating them.

Uncollected reports I have still too many uncollected reports. I have set aside
0830-1000 on Monday, February 13 for boys to come and collect reports. There will be a booking
sheet provided. I am also available at recess and lunch except for Tuesday. Parents are requested
to remind their sons of their obligation to discuss the Yearly report with the Principal and
bring it home.

Summer Sports Assembly February 3, 2012 At the summer sports assembly for term 1,
our guest Liz Deep-Jones spoke of her dedication to sports and her translation of this dedication
and self-belief into her career as a sports commentator, TV interviewer and author. She stressed
the value of developing self-confidence through sports and applying that attribute to life. My
address to the assembly follows.

"Good morning and welcome to our summer sports assembly. We are here today to recognise and pay
tribute to our boys selected in GPS teams whose competition commences in term 1- namely Tennis,
water polo, swimming and sailing. To our special guest, Liz Deep-Jones, MICs, coaches, parents
and staff – thank you for your attendance.

"Sailing is flourishing at Double Bay Sailing Club and has secured a long term arrangement with
the club and will enjoy the enlarged and refurbished facilities by Term 4. Thank you to Carrie
Waring for all her work in preparing yet another grant application, this time on behalf of the
club. Thank you again to coach Adam South for his work in building up the program, particularly
to a standard to be competitive in NSW Teams racing. Well done to Mr Moody for his season as a
very ‘hands on’ MIC. Sachiyo James as Catering Coordinator, ably assisted by her team
of parents and sailing boys as waiters, served up great suppers at the P & C ‘Thank You
Evening’ last December and again this week at our’ Welcome Night’ for new
parents. Their efforts raise the funds that are keeping our fleet of boats and sails well
maintained.

"Thank you to Mr Loizou for his organisation and promotion of High swimming in 2011. I expect
that everyone will support the school swimming carnival on Monday, whatever the weather.
Let’s hope Mr Loizou is back with us again soon. In the GPS competition, particularly in
the junior division, participation is the key to success. We could use more juniors in our racing
program to build on our great third place in the 2011 season. I urge more boys to involve
themselves in a well organised program.

"Thank you to Ms Davis for taking over Water Polo as MIC and administering the changeover from Ms
Evans seamlessly. This is a sport with a definite upside for competitors. We could expand our GPS
involvement with more players.

"Thank you to Mr Wright for taking over as Administrative MIC of tennis and taking care of
Saturday morning arrangements. Mr David Deep, the new tennis professional for the Sydney High
courts, continues to build our tennis capacity as lead coach. He has recruited Catherine Barclay
as second grade coach. The Tennis Committee has been active, organising a fundraiser and
subsidising an impressive tennis camp in Melbourne, taking in daily visits to the Australian
Open. High has the structure and programs now to really start to cement a place in the top half
of the GPS competition

"Ron Barassi published a little illustrated book last year with the confident title of Wisdom:
Life lessons from an Australian legend. His signature is subscripted with the number 17410 and
his lucky number and playing number, 31. As a player or coach Barassi participated in seventeen
grand finals for ten wins. The book is a collection of aphorisms and quotes with accompanying
commentary by Barassi. For example, he writes: “Success is best measured by how far you
have come with the talents you have been given.” He asserts that just as we admire people
with disabilities to achieve beyond what we would rationally expect, so too should we be
disappointed by those who have natural ability fail to improve on what they could already do
without really trying. You boys all know approximately how much natural talent you have for the
performance of discrete skills or tasks. We also know when we fall short of doing justice to that
talent. Ultimately, we let ourselves down when we have not given of our best. The message is to
only take pride in any achievement which exceeded your own expectations based on your natural
ability.

"The application of his message to the High situation is clear. In GPS competition we frequently
face the challenge of opponents with superior natural talents to ours, we need to rise to the
occasion and give the contest everything we have. If we are defeated, so be it, but we will be
able to gain satisfaction from knowing that we performed as well as we could have. If you can
honestly say that about your individual performances each week, we can ask for nothing more from
you.

"I extend my congratulations to all boys who have been selected in GPS teams to represent their
school. Strive for your best this season consistently!"Dr K A Jaggar

Student First Aid Requirements

Notice to All Parents It is a parent’s responsibility to notify the Front Office First Aid
Staff if your son has a medical condition which requires medication. All medication such as
Epipen’s need to be clearly marked with your son’s name and have a current expiry
date.

Your cooperation is appreciated.

Peer Mediation at SBHS

Peer mediation is a program run by trained Year 11 students which seeks to help solve conflict
between students without getting teachers involved. The program helps the students resolve
conflicts while under the guidance of two Year 11 students. The program is confidential and stays
between the peer mediators (Year 11 students) and the students who have a dispute.

How it works If you are feeling unhappy with the way another student is treating
you, in class, in the playground or on the way to and from school or if you think another student
is undermining you behind your back or in cyber space you can do something to stop the problem.
By e mailing the following address:
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
you can request a peer mediation which will result in a resolution and an agreement so that you
can get on with the rest of school life in peace.

Peer mediations are friendly, unthreatening and quick and have a very high success rate. So
don’t put up with feeling unhappy or let things get out of control. Take charge and e
mail a request with your details.

Senior Drama Production

Auditions The Drama departments of Sydney Boys and Sydney Girls are once again teaming together
to create an original Senior Production. Rehearsals will take place on Tuesday afternoons from
3:30pm – 5:00pm in Campbell Hall. The production will be staged in Week 7 of Term 2 and
will require students involved to attend several Sunday rehearsals leading up to the show.

Students in Years 10 and 11 are invited to audition on Tuesday 14 February. This will be a
workshop audition held in Campbell Hall from 3:30-5:00pm. Students must register their names
outside the Drama Studio before the workshop. Successful students will be called back for a
second prepared audition the following week. Anyone who can play an instrument, sing and dance is
also encouraged to come along.

If you have any further questions please contactMs Rohr at the school.

Die Deutsche Frage - Und Die Antwort

The first question clearly was just too easy – the answers came in thick and fast. Niyazul
Bari (Yr 9), Kabir Agrawal (Yr 8) and R Boros (class unknown) all had their
answers: Andrea and Ulli were two storms which hit Europe – and therefore Germany - during
January - in before recess. Well done, boys. The next question should be a bit more challenging.
Viel Spass beim Raten!

Sydney High School Cadet Unit

WHAT ARE WE ALL ABOUT ?

Cadet training introduces boys to a wide range of activities and skills which, it is hoped, will
give them recreational and service options later in life.

It teaches them self-reliance and endurance, especially by participating in camps, bivouacs and
expeditions that can be, at times, arduous.

Cadet membership builds confidence and self-esteem, especially when cadets
participate and succeed in activities which, to them, are new and perhaps frightening.

It places them under a relatively uncompromising system of control and discipline which, if
accepted, will develop their efficiency and dependability, and teach them to accept and
appreciate authority, and to carry out legitimate directions efficiently and willingly.

Cadets become involved in individual areas in which to strive for excellence – in
their dress, performance and endurance,

Cadet training develops teamwork, especially in rigorous and adverse conditions,
developing generosity and care for others, and combating the tendency to complain and give
up.

Cadet service provides opportunities for promotion to very real positions of authority and
leadership. Promotion is offered on merit and cadet responsibilities develop efficiency,
integrity, dependability and sense of service.

Promotion is not offered lightly and the cadet must understand that behaviour outside cadet
service is included and, so, his overall lifestyle should improve.

Cadets, especially those in positions where they must teach, instruct, plan, control and lead
will develop personal attributes of character often not found in the average adult, and this
while they are at school !

Involvement in various ceremonial and public events - the School’s ANZAC Day, Remembrance
Day, ANZAC Day city march and support to ex-service organisations and charities helps in their
becoming more civic and nationally minded, more patriotic and more appreciative of those
men and women who have served the Nation when called upon, and of those in the community who
serve voluntarily, and often unknown, in so many organisations that help the needy and afflicted.

High boys who commit themselves to cadet service should, over their period of training (and it
is designed on a four to five year cycle), learn much, give much and gain much.

I don’t know just how much of the above was in the minds of school authorities when the
Unit was raised back in 1883, but I expect that their aims for the boys then may have been
something pretty similar.

Over the years the Army Cadet programme has continued to contribute to the social capital of
Australia.

As an ex-cadet and a parent, I know that the system works and that the boys gain so much from
the cadet programme that will help them as they progress through life.

There is no doubt that they, and the Nation, are richer through their involvement in the Army
Cadet programme.

ENROLMENTS

We are currently enrolling new cadets. Contact Sergeants Vincent Ye or Nicholas Ooi for
applications forms. Numbers are limited so don’t delay in submitting your application. Year
7 applicants should note a minimum age of 12½ applies. Underage boys may lodge their

High Tide

Sydney Boys High School Sailing

4 February 2012

Sailing resumed this weekend and Sydney High sailors produced a mixed set of results in the
racing on Rose Bay. The first round of the Point Score competition was sailed with a fluky wind
from the NW-SW at 2-5 knots, making the competition even more unpredictable.

Ennes Mehmedbasic and Tiger Zhang were the standout skipper and crew this week, with a first and
a second podium place in the two races and presently they would be leading the Saturday Point
Score. Marcus James had some inconsistent results this Saturday with a DNF and a first place
finish.

Other boats and skippers (Bart Daniels, Daniel Fang and David Evans) were able to place in the
top ten in the second race and it was very pleasing to see Sydney High both leading the fleet and
finishing with five of the first ten placings. Our sailors must try to maintain this consistency
throughout the term and with continual improvement and fine tuning, it is possible to achieve.
Some sailors were a little rusty from the long break and it is hoped that they come up to speed
quickly and make the racing more competitive. It was also pleasing to see two of the new sailors
present this week at Sailing as well as the continued support from the Principal, Dr Jaggar who
was present when the boats were launched.

Next week’s sailing is to be conducted earlier to accommodate other sailing in 29ers and it
is hoped that Sydney High sailors prepare to arrive at DBSC earlier. A 7.30am start is required.

A reminder that the Annual General Meeting of the SHSSA will be at 8.30 am on Saturday 18th
February 2012 at DBSC

1st Grade The boys were looking to kick start 2012 with a win against Shore. The day
started off really well with High winning 2 of the 3 doubles to put us in a strong position going
into the singles. The number 3 doubles pairing of Rob and Anton were able to come back from a set
down to take the match in a super tiebreak. Number 2 doubles, Pat and Lachlan were able to close
out their match despite dropping the second set. In the number 1 doubles with Brian and Frank, a
series of missed opportunities in the super tiebreak cost us the match, going down 10-12 in the
super tiebreak. In the singles, Patrick played a near faultless match, easily dispatching his
opponent in no time, winning 6-0 6-1. Anton played a marathon match lasting almost 3 hours in a
superb effort, edging his opponent in three tight sets, 3-6 6-4 7-6. Frank had a bizarre match
that consisted of 14 breaks of serve, going down 4-6 4-6. In a dramatic and unprecedented
sequence of events, Brian was forced to succumb to injury after leading 3-1 in the first.
Lachlan, after having match points in the second set tiebreak was unable to overcome sickness and
cramps going to down in three tight sets; and Robert after taking the first set comfortably,
began cramping in the second, being unable to recover in the third set going down 6-1 3-6 1-6.
The final result after an extremely close and competitive day that saw 6 of the 9 matches go
three sets saw High go down 4 matches to 5, with the overall fitness of the boys and missed
opportunities ultimately costing High the win.Frank Zhang

2nd Grade After training hard in the summer break our team was ready for the first
rubber of the new year against Shore. As the clouds cleared up we began our doubles, looking to
win some matches early. However, we played poorly for the most part, losing No 1 and 2 doubles in
straight sets. Yuan and Denny bounced back after losing the first set but ultimately could not
get the job done, losing 6-7 in the second set. In the singles our No 1 Josh started his match
strongly, winning the first 6-3. After losing the second set, Josh earned himself a number of
match points in the third and deciding set, but could not capitalise on these and was unlucky to
lose the set 6-7. Adam continued his good form from last round, he played consistently to win a
close first set 7-5 and close out the second with relative ease. James, Yuan, Ian and Denny all
had positives to draw out of their matches, even though no wins were recorded. We hope to improve
on this performance next week where we face a confident Newington team.James Chan

SHS Rowing

Shore Regatta Results

This was a full regatta with all 16 crews racing. It was a good start to the year with improved
times across all senior/Y10 eights, and congratulations have to go to the following standout
Junior quads–

Boat Naming Cocktail Party

The cocktail party last Saturday night was a huge success, with over 150 people attending. The
‘High Rowing Family’ including old boys, parents, supporters, rowers and families
turned out in force to celebrate the naming of 5 boats. It was an opportunity to acknowledge the
efforts of dedicated parents to the High Rowing Program, who had boats named in their honour
– Geoff Andrews, Anitak Bezjak, Peter Ambrose, and Katharine Deacon.

Thank you to the Rowing Committee and parents for the outstanding catering and contribution to
the event. A total of approx. $6,000 was raised on the night, and with two old boys generously
donating $1000 each, we have almost completed the payment on the new Sykes VIII, the ‘CWP
Barris’, named in honour of Deputy Principal, Mr Con Barris.

The School 1st VIII are very excited to be rowing in the ‘CWP Barris’ at State
Championships this coming weekend.

Regattas this week, Saturday 11th February

Newington Regatta at Hen & Chicken Bay – This is a Junior regatta with Y8, Y9
and Y10 crews racing.

NSW State Rowing Championships at SIRC – The School 1st and 2nd VIII will be racing
in this regatta on the Saturday, and the Year 9 1st quad will be racing on the Sunday.

Welcome New Rowers

We welcome 28 Year 7 boys and a few Year 9 boys to High Rowing at Abbotsford. They will be
learning the skills of rowing over the next few weeks on Thursday afternoons and Saturday
mornings.

Social Rowing

Our Junior crews had a social rowing morning with SGHS on January 28, which included some races
and a barbecue at our sheds. This will hopefully be an annual event.

Thank you

Craig Phillis, President Rowing Committee, for organising the ‘painting of the oars’.
It was great to see parents turn up to help their son patch, sand and paint their oars ready for
racing.

A win last Saturday meant that High remained at the top of the table with Scots and remain on
track to at least claim a co premiership this season. For that to happen we need to remain
undefeated throughout the rest of the season which will be tough given the tight nature of the
competition but certainly possible if we can create a strong High atmosphere at homes games to
capitalise on this advantage.

Home Game vs Newington this Week

The first home game of 2012 is this Saturday against Newington, with whom we have an intense
rivalry. This will be a key game with Newington statistically having the best defence in the
league, and our team requires your support to help them win. For all our new basketball
players, 1st and 2nd grade matches provide a great opportunity to watch high quality basketball
which helps you develop your own game.

2nd Grade games begin at 10:00, 1st grade games at 11:15.

The High Basketball Player's Checklist

High has one of the best school basketball programs in Australia, and an important part of that
is mentality of our players. Are you doing all of these?

Be committed - turn up to games on Saturday on time and ready to play

Listen to the coach's advice - they strive to make you the best player possible, it is in
your interest to listen to what they say

Be a team player - basketball is a team sport, so play with a team oriented approach. Play
for your friends and teammates

Give 100%, both at training and during games

Never giving up, even when things get tough
